My understanding is that ABO is not required for modern COBOL compilers. Only for the 'old' binarys.

So it will "do stuff" to your current V3 or V4 COBOL Module to make it better. So the new old module is a hybrid of the old with ABO adjustments. And then any time you would recompile your program, you would need to run it through ABO again. Seems like some extra steps. Maybe there are those on this list that might be using ABO and can provide some insight.
